■

This manual uses pictographs to show you how to use the product

safely and to alert you to potential dangers resulting from improper

conditions while driving.

❑

This unit is designed for use exclusively in automo-

biles.

❑

Do not operate the unit for a prolonged period with the

engine turned off.

and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit.

❑

Do not use the product where it is exposed to water,

moisture, or dust.

Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead to

smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially sure

that the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy days.

Observe the following cautions when installing.

❑

Refer wiring and installation to qualified service per-

sonnel.

Installation of this unit requires special skills and experience. For

maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer. Panasonic is

from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws, and moving

parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or twist the

leads. Do not run them near heat sources or place heavy objects

on them. If leads must be run over sharp metal edges, protect

the leads by winding them with vinyl tape or similar protection.

❑

Use the designated parts and tools for installation.

Use the supplied or designated parts and appropriate tools to

install the product. The use of parts other than those supplied or

designated may result in internal damage to the unit. Faulty
